[quote=@JaceBeleren] Can someone explain the appeal of Fallout? I've only played New Vegas and 4, but it strikes me as second-rate as both a shooter and an rpg. Games like, for example, the Far Cry series, have better action and shooting, and Elder Scrolls-type (to use another Bethesda series) games beat it as an rpg. I get it's a blend of two genres, it's never going to be the best at either, but I think it could have done both better than it did. Like I said, if I want to play a shooter, I'll play a better shooter, if I want to play an rpg, I'll play a better rpg. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see why Fallout has gotten as much hype as it has. [/quote] If you had played Fallout 3 instead you would've gotten it. Fans are upset with Fallout 4, and some of them are upset with NV because they were both watered down RPG's to appeal to a larger audience. F3 was... somewhat true to the original F1, 2 and Van Buuren. F Tactics and Brotherhood were also decent. But they're too old for me to recommend them to you. In short, the appeal is the rather unique setting, the interesting lore, the depth it has but also just how wacky the game can be. [i]Also it's highly moddable so like Skyrim, it's the perfect place to make mature 18+ mods and that's why the game still has mods being made for it.[/i]
